If the shutter speed falls below the point where the camera
can be safely hand held, the camera-shake warning appears
on the LCD monitor. Camera shake is slight blurring caused
by subtle hand motion and is more pronounced at the
telephoto position of the lens than at the wide-angle.
Although the warning appears, the shutter can still be
released. If the warning appears, place the camera on a
tripod, use the built-in flash, or zoom the lens towards the
wide-angle position until the warning disappears.
CAMERA-SHAKE WARNING
FLASH RANGE - AUTO-RECORDING MODE
The camera controls the flash output automatically.
For well-exposed images, the subject must be
within the flash range. Distance is given from the
CCD plane. Because of the optical system, the
flash range is not the same at the lens’ wide-angle
position as it is at the telephoto position.
Approximate location of CCD plane
Camera-shake warning
If the flash output was sufficient to illuminate the subject, the OK indicator briefly
replaces the flash-mode indicator after the exposure. The access lamp turns red and
blinks slowly while the flash is charging; if battery power is low, the monitor turns off
during this period.
If using continuous AF or the sports action subject program with flash, the monitor image
reflects the exposure required for the flash when the shutter-release button is pressed
partway down. This may cause the monitor image to appear dark in low-light situations.
